“Why are you dressed up?” Liam asks as he enters their apartment's bedroom, the secret apartment in London that nobody knows about except the boys, “And what are you doing?”
Zayn is sitting on the bed, hunched over something, pens and markers scattered all over the mattress. He is clad from head to toe in Armani.
“I have to go meet Perrie for some shitty anniversary kind of thing in like an hour,” Zayn explains but he doesn't look up from what he is doing, waiting for Liam to come forward and find out himself.
“Please accidentally spill hot soup over her today,” Liam says as he reaches the bed and sits on the edge beside Zayn, “It will be the best anniversary surprise ever.”
“I will try my best, grumpy,” Zayn chuckles, “Now help me, c'mon.”
“What are you doing even?” Liam asks, eyeing the diary in Zayn's hands.
“Our dictionary, remember?” Zayn says and Liam stares at him.
“What?”
“Look, I have marked every page with a letter,” Zayn shows it to Liam, “And now this will be our dictionary. With our meanings.”
“Wow, you are a hopeless nerd. I thought Doniya was exaggerating.”
“I have the first word in mind,” Zayn rolls his eyes and skims through the various pages to stop on the page that sports a huge red 'J' at the top. He reaches for a black pen and writes:
Jackass: (n) Liam.
Sentence: I am unfortunately in love with a jackass.
Liam laughs before snatching the diary away from Zayn and opening up the 'P' page.
Poop: (n) Nonsense.
Sentence: My boyfriend is full of poop.
He looks up at Zayn who is trying to pout and failing. So he searches for the letter 'D' and writes another word:
Duckling: (v) what zayn looks like when he pouts.
Sentence: There is a duckling sitting on my bed.
Zayn grabs the diary before Liam can write another word. Liam watches as he turns over to the 'P' page.
Puppy: (n) what Liam looks like all the time.
Sentence: Puppy and Duckling should fuck, like right now.
Liam laughs again, taking the diary back. He flips open the 'B' page.
Bradford Bad Boi:(n) Mine.
Sentence: Zayn is Bradford Bad Boi.
Zayn smiles and take the diary away.
Batman: (n) Liam.
Sentence: I have a thing for Batman.
Liam chuckles so wide, his eyes disappear into crescents for a moment. He moves to sit beside Zayn, making him open the diary to the 'Q' page.
Quiffy: (n) Zayn because he looks hot in a quiff and his quiffs are the best.
Sentence: Quiffy is very beautiful.
“Wait,” Liam says when Zayn tries to take the diary back. He opens the 'R' page then.
Riffy: (n) Zayn because his riffs are perfect, and unaccomplishable.
Sentence: Riffy is also mine.
Zayn blushes, flips the pages until he finds the 'U'.
Unaccomplishable: (n) what Liam thinks is a word.
Sentence: To fall out of love with Liam is unaccomplishable.
He goes back to the 'C' page and writes.
Congratuweldone: (n) because my boyfriend's English is pretty pathetic.
Sentence: Congratuweldone, you actually understand what Liam is saying.
Liam snorts, taking the diary back and opening the 'M'.
Malabami: (n) Malibu.
Sentence: Zayn's favorite place is Malabami.
Zayn makes a face, before writing in section 'B'.
Babe: (n) the only nickname that suits Liam.
Sentence: Babe, I love you.
Liam flips back to 'M'.
MTFL: (abbr) More than fucking love.
Sentence: I love you back, Riffy. I MTFL you, forever.
